Ice making

Plug in. Press the "ON/OFF" button on the operation panel, bottled water goes into the water tank of the machine to supply the water. When the water reaches the standard water level, the machine starts to make ice. The power symbol is always on and the ice-making symbol rotates dynamically. After a few minutes of ice-making, the number "13M" appears in the upper left corner, indicating that it will take 13 minutes for the ice-making to end, and the ice-making countdown starts from 13 minutes to 1 minute then disappears, and then enter de-ice mode. The de-ice symbol is blinking and the ice on the evaporator falls into the ice storage basket.

The machine produces 36 PCS of clear cubes of ice per cycle. Each single ice size is 22x22mm.

The default ice-making time of the machine is 13 minutes per cycle and the LCD displays "+0M", the countdown starts from "13M".

Each ice making cycle takes about 13-25 minutes, and varies depending on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the water added. The first ice making time will be longer due to the higher ambient temperature, but the ice making cycle will not exceed 30 minutes.

Deice: When the machine is in ice-making mode and the sprinkler pipe above the evaporator begins to spray water down. By pressing the "-" button for 5 seconds, the machine enters the force de-ice, and ice cubes from the ice tray will automatically fall down and be removed into the ice storage basket. Deice takes about 1-2 minutes.

When the machine is in deice mode, the machine automatically refills the water tank from bottled water via the solenoid water valve for next cycle ice making. The water inlet arrow symbol on the LCD display continues to flash until the water replenishment reaches the standard level of the water tank and goes out. If the water replenishment cannot reach the standard level of the water tank, the water shortage symbol lights up and the machine stops working. In this case, you need to follow the water refilling instructions to refill water for the machine. After refilling the water, press the "ON/OFF" button to start a new cycle of ice-making. Otherwise, it will wait for about 15 minutes and turn on automatically to start a new cycle of ice-making.
